Watch "Love In The Time of Cholera", Reivew on Love in the Time of Cholera

García Márquez is a writer I love so much. "Love in the Time of Cholera" is probably his most famous work after "One Hundred Years of Solitude". I'm ashamed, I haven't read the original book carefully. It is said that this film is very faithful to the original book in terms of plot, so please make up for it quickly. Sure enough, this kind of infatuation story may seem vulgar, but the unique charm of "Love in the Time of Cholera" is amazing. As a representative writer of Latin American magical realism, "Love in the Time of Cholera" has no magical color, but is full of absurdity of reality.
The film's producer, Scott Standorf, is also impressive. It took him 3 years to keep courting Gabriel García Márquez before he obtained the film adaptation rights of the novel. Standoff even compared himself to the novel's Florentina Ariza, claiming that if Márquez wouldn't nod his approval, he wouldn't give up.
The actor who plays Florentina Ariza is Javier Bardem, who just won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor, and his performance in this film is also very good. Although when I see him, I always think of the mushroom-headed cold-blooded killer in No Country For Old Men.
